Top marks Russell Hobbs!http://www.womanandhome.com/forums/threads/88959-Top-marks-Russell-Hobbs!?goto=newpost
Sun, 02 Aug 2015 17:38:27 GMTI bought a Russell Hobbs stick blender last year. It came with a few attachments, one of which was a "chopper" which was great. Unfortunately, the spindle that the blades sat on sheared off. I rang the company who said they would send a replacement for approx Ģ4, which I thought was a bargain.
However there must have been a breakdown in communication because all they sent was the actual bowl with no chopping mechanism. I rang them again and after a few questions to confirm I had bought it when I said I had, they said they would send me a new one free of charge. Not just the chopper but the whole thing-blender, whisk, chopper the lot!!
I know itīs not a hugely expensive item but nevertheless, I think the customer service was very impressive. Itīs only a small outlay for them but it means I will definitely consider Russell Hobbs first when buying small electrical items in future. And no...I donīt work for the company!

I have 6 wooden back kitchen chairs (Ikea) and they always seem sticky. I have wiped with diluted washing up liquid...still sticky...have tried polishing them with spray furniture polish..still sticky. They just don't "feel" nice when you get hold of them.

Has anyone got any tips on how to make them less tacky?

Some...Good Morning Ladies,

Why is it that so many people dislike marrow?

I love it, was brought up with eating it at least once a week.....

Some people say it is bland, but why not try eating it like this.....

Peel it. Cut it in half (either way), scoop out the middle with the seeds in it.

Make a bolognaise sauce with minced meat...........or any kind of sauce, put it in the scooped out marrow.

Put that onto an oven tray with some tinfoil on. Bake it. When a knife goes through it without too much pressure - it's done!

Well, I have some material that I want to use to make fancy, Oxford-style pillow-covers with; don't ask why, it isn't as if I have nothing else to do (weeding the garden, for example?) but I want to do it.

Anyone know a basic, move-by-move set of instructions to make said Oxford pillow cases? I have A-level English, so I can read and follow simple instructions but conceptually I'm at a bit of a loss.

Help, please???

Wed, 15 Jul 2015 10:18:16 GMTI'd like to know what everyone thinks. I've tried various diffusers, neom, white company, John Lewis and they just don't seem to last very long. They smell for a few days then I can't notice them. Have you any favourites you can recommend for me. Thanks.

Thu, 09 Jul 2015 19:36:14 GMTDoes anyone know of a quiet kettle that doesn't cost a fortune? The one I have at the moment is just over a year old and already the paint is blistering and peeling from the metal underneath, the lid has cracked and it is so noisy we have to turn the volume up on the TV if it's on when we want to make a cuppa! Needless to say I won't be buying the same brand again (RH)!
